Calling All in UHall & Brittany! Need help with your writing? The Writing Affiliates are here to help! Come to our Write-In’s this Sunday, November 13th, 8-10 pm. We’ll help you get moving again, on any writing project, at any stage in your process.

What is a write-in? A write-in is an intentional time and space for writing, particularly writing that you may be avoiding or procrastinating on–it’s that simple. In a space like a study or TV lounge, within an NYU dorm, around the time of most classes’ essay deadlines, we gather to work on our essays or other writing projects in real time.

How is it different from a class? Well, for one, it’s in your dorm!No “participation” is necessary–other than your presence in the room and your willingness to get some writing done. Reflecting on the write-ins, one student said: “It’s not a class or a workshop; it’s more like a grown-up version of study hall…with cookies or pizza!” And another said: “Makes writing less lonely and boring. I got great feedback on my essay and wound up with a decent grade.”

How can this help me and why should I sign up? In addition to finding delicious refreshments and camaraderie, all in a supportive, positive environment, our write-ins often provide some opportunity for students to get some quick feedback from the Writing Affiliates themselves (all NYU Writing the Essay professors), Writing Tutors or Writing Center consultants, and/or peers.

The EWP Writing Affiliates are offering one-on-one writing conferences for International students, giving you constructive feedback and suggestions to improve your writing. Bring your current paper or project that you are working on to receive feedback & tips!

Adapted from an activity started at Swarthmore College, our NYU write-ins provide a space and time for NYU students to work on the art of writing, individually as well as a group. Here are three frequently asked questions about this exciting program:

But also, in the course of our busy lives as students and human beings, sharing our spaces with roommates, pleasurably distracted by friends but stressed-out by all the work we have to do, we struggle to find good spaces where we can write. The Write-in is like a miniature writing retreat within your NYU residence: a getaway from your everyday living/writing space. Your own space within the space, your need for focus and concentration, support and feedback, and good snacks….all are respected here.

Sometimes the most important thing is to have a dedicated time and space for writing–and the motivating sound of other fingers tapping on keyboards.

Need help with your writing? The Writing Affiliates Program is here to help! NYU Expository Writing Program “Writing Affiliates” are hosting “Write-Ins” in the FYR halls — starting this weekend! — to help you give and get good feedback on your writing.

You can work on any writing you are doing, for any class, at any stage of your writing process. (Commuters welcome, too!)

We hope you will join with us, and your FYR Hall writing colleagues, to work on your writing, and develop the culture of writing in your hall. For more info, check with your hall staff and/or RA, and see our Write-In Info page, above.

This event will feature a panel of faculty members and some upper class students all there to answer any questions you may have about classes as a college student. How do office hours work?
